How does the Lean Coffee method work?

The Lean Coffee method is a structured yet informal meeting method. Participants bring their topics with them on cards, which are then collected and prioritised. The highest prioritised topics are then discussed in short, time-limited discussions. This method makes it possible to talk about the most important issues in an effective and focussed manner while at the same time responding flexibly to the needs of the group.

Our key takeaways

Communication: Misunderstandings and unclear communication can slow down or even jeopardise projects. Clear, precise and regular communication is the key.
Expectation management: Unrealistic expectations and unclear objectives often lead to dissatisfaction. Open and honest expectation management is essential.
Resource planning: Insufficient planning of resources and capacities can cause projects to stumble. Forward-looking and flexible resource planning helps to avoid bottlenecks.
Change management: Resistance to change can jeopardise the success of a project. Structured change management is essential to get all stakeholders on board.

The Lean Coffee method enabled us to shed light on these topics in an open and dynamic discussion and share valuable insights and best practices. A big thank you to all participants for their active participation and valuable contributions.
